For Nina Reilly, the mountain town of Lake Tahoe is home. It's where she forged a successful career as a tough, resourceful attorney - and raised her teenage son, Bob, alone. Back from a stint in Monterey, where her love life took a tumble, Nina has returned to her Tahoe law office with her old friends Sandy Whitefeather and Sandy's son, Wish. It isn't long before she has a new client whose wife was shot and killed during a casino-district robbery two years before. The police have no suspects, and the robbery victims, three students, lied about their identities and are hiding outside California and the reach of the court.

Two of the witnesses have fled to a village not far from the home of Bob's father, Kurt Scott, in Germany. As Nina tries to unravel the mystery of one violent Tahoe night, a harrowing journey begins - one that takes her from the dark underworld of Tahoe's casinos to the halls of a prestigious East Coast university to Europe and an emotional reunion with Kurt. As old feelings are rekindled, Nina's case turns violent. Everyone has something to hide - the brilliant but unstable mathematics student who has made an astonishing discovery, the owner of a motel where the shooting took place, and the shooter, who has turned the whole case into a gigantic lie.

Listener Opinions

by Tracy Knorre | 2/9/2014

" Fast read, however I thought the ending was a bit off. "

by Wendy | 1/20/2014

" The previous two books with Nina in CA were just so-so. This book is back to the great read that I expected for the Nina Reilly series. "

" I haven't read any of the previous Nina Reilly mysteries by Perri O'Shaghnessy, but I will keep an eye out for them as I really did enjoy this book. I thought that the explanations of the mathematical theories were a bit long, but at the same time interesting. A book worth reading. "

" Not as much legal action as usual, but a closer look at what makes her tick on a personal level. No Paul and there was a lot of bloodshed. A good effort, but not my Nina fave. "

Shana | 10/2/2013

" If you enjoy Perri O'Shaughnessy books, you will enjoy this one. You could see there was a twist to the story, but it was not revealed until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! "

Hayseed | 9/25/2013

" Too much math in this one for me, but a good read, and whodunnit, math minded won't be bothered by the math, the rest of us can skim over the numbers detailed in the book and still enjoy it. "

Ann | 8/13/2013

" I loved this book. Complicated in crime and satisfying in love interest. Finally! "

Rosie Beck | 5/16/2013

" O'Shaughnessy bases the book locally so this is fun. The niece of a man whose wife was killed by a "random"bullet engages Nina Reilly to solve the mystery. The only witnesses are students who have been running numbers in the casinos, and they have false ids.Something is fishy, Lucy! "

Jean | 4/10/2013

" Single mother, Nina Reilly, is a lawyer at Lake Tahoe. Plot involves a math equation, very bright young students and several murders. Very easy to relate to the setting. "

Corrie | 2/1/2013

" This series just keeps getting more and more stupid. And yet, I feel compelled to keep reading them because I have to know what happens to these characters. "

Vivisection | 11/16/2012

" I'm glad Nina is back in Tahoe. I love that area and every time I read these novels, I wonder if my fair-weather, San Diego ass could handle a Tahoe winter. I'd like to try some day. "

Janice | 3/12/2012

" Stunning, complex, interesting even though at first I was baffled by the Prime Numbers Theory! I listen to the audiobook and then checked out the book. I was yancy to find out what happens. Very satisfying. NOW: I must go onto book #12 to find out what happens to Nina! "

Lorelee | 12/1/2011

" Way too technical with all of the math information for someone who did not do well in school with math. I scanned and turned many many pages without even reading them to get to the story line. I am such a Perri O'Shaughnessy fan that this was a real disappointmeant. "

Eva | 10/23/2011

" the nerd in me wishes i understood mathematics enough to really understand the big deal about the prime numbers. the book was good though. "

Andrea | 3/9/2011

" Too much mathematic theories made me lose interest. Storyline really did not keep my attention and hated the way it ended...pretty bad book. "

Christen | 2/14/2011

" I started this about 2 years ago and just never finished it. It wasn't bad - it just didn't ever capture my attention as much as anything else I was reading at the time. Maybe one day I'll pick it up again. "

Susan Adkins | 1/24/2011

" This was a very good mystery. There are several twists and turns. "

Donna | 9/7/2010

" I haven't read any of the previous Nina Reilly mysteries by Perri O'Shaghnessy, but I will keep an eye out for them as I really did enjoy this book. I thought that the explanations of the mathematical theories were a bit long, but at the same time interesting. A book worth reading.
